^ Yes, I've been reading the boards on IMDB for this movie. I don't think you are overreacting Zombie. I get mad too. I try to click on the more positive thread titles, but there are a lot of threads about that Logans Run movie, never seen it. Very curious to watch it now. It's true though, most movies are inspired by other books and movies. I think there's always going to be haters

Zombie and disarm - YES, I agree with you both that the IMDb is negative and annoying. Which the message boards are in general there, unfortunately. I've pretty much stopped going to the In Time board, because ever since the trailer came out, the haters (and what exactly are they hating?? They haven't seen the damn movie!) have come out in full force. That's a shame, because for months it had been a really nice message board where interested people were discussing the movie with each other respectfully. Not so anymore. And Jesus, YES the Logan's Run crap has gotten old. That was another thing that drove me away. What do those people want, a medal for movie knowledge? It's possible that there is a lot of negativity toward the movie because of Justin Timberlake. If I had a guess, I would say that people are a tad fatigued with him right now, as he has had a movie released practically every other month for a while now. So people may see this as nothing more than yet another JT movie, and it's become something for them to attack. While I can somewhat understand that viewpoint, and am not sold on JT as a serious lead yet myself at all, I don't feel it's necessary to pile on the insults about the entire movie, sight unseen. But of course people will anyway, because it makes them feel smart, important, elitist, whatever. The IMDb message boards have gone downhill so severely in the decade since I first discovered it; it's really pretty stunning. Never ceases to amaze me how people get off on telling other people that their opinions are "wrong". As far as the In Time discussions go (if one can call them that), I'm utterly puzzled by the people who feel a need to go on the board to tell everyone why they won't be seeing the movie. Don't wanna see it? So don't see it. (shrug) There are a lot of movies I'm not interested in either, but I'd never waste a second of my life explaining to strangers why I won't be bothering with it. It's much more fun to talk with people who ARE interested in something. Basically, I have conditioned myself, almost reflexively, to steer away from negative people, and surround myself with people who are positive instead. If that means the IMDb board goes by the wayside, then so be it. LOL. I'd much rather spend my time here, talking about the movie with people who are excited about it. And just for the record... I'd see this even if Cillian wasn't in it. This kind of sci-fi - the kind that makes you look at the world differently, rather than trying to burn out your retinas with CGI - is the kind I most enjoy. The fact that Cillian is smokin' hot in it is what I'd call extreme extra incentive. LOL. ;D

yeah...I agree. the IMDB boards are full of people who have nothing better to do with their time only to hate on EVERYTHING--seriously, if you go looking on the profiles of those haters, they pretty much only HATE-HATE-HATE!!
which is why I've stopped going; it used to be so much fun when i was younger, now I'm wondering why i still go at all.

If you ladies all lined up for Raymond Leon, can I have Jackson Rippner all to myself now? ;D You WISH!!! LOL! Rippner OWNS me. I don't care how sexy Leon is - there's no way he's going to topple Jackson Rippner from his pedestal as Sexiest Man Alive. Not for this girl.

But I can cure him from that arrogant manner, I can tell you !!! ;D Bunnie, this thread sounds like a good idea.

Leon ...? I had him already ;D Unfortunately he gave me ALL of his time. Deal with it LOL LMAO!!!! That's all right - I can give Leon some of MY time. ROFL... umm, my money is on Jackson LOL - I would tend to agree... though I don't think I can say for sure till I see Leon in the movie. But if I was putting money on it - yeah, it's going on Jack. ;D I think if someone was trying to take his woman, they'd never know what hit them.

Well, Jackson obviously goes to Pisces, as long as she doesn't mind if we take a nibble once in a while. I, however, claim both CAPA and JIM!!! Capa for sure is MINE. Edit: I got distracted and forgot to say what I originally intended to say! Figures. I agree with Pisces. I think people see Justin Timberlake's name and face in the trailers/posters and automatically think the movie will be a dud. I've heard a lot of negative responses, solely because of Justin's involvement. I really don't like when people do that, because I honestly don't have a problem with the rest of the cast. I'm a little iffy about Justin as well, as obviously Cillian would have been the better lead, but I really like Leon for Cillian. I don't know if Justin would suit him quite as much. Anyway, Youtube is pretty bad for negative remarks and trolls, but I haven't ever seen one bad thing said about Cillian. There's lots of comparison to Logan's Run on Youtube as well. I haven't seen this personally, is it really that similar? I really hope people won't be silly enough to avoid this movie all together just because of JT.
